  • 시각 동기화는 무선 센서 네트워크에서 시각 정보가 활용되는 응용(예, 감시, 추적, 데이터 융합, 스케쥴링)에 있어서 중요하다. 무선 센서 네트워크에서의 시각 동기화는 기존의 유선 인터넷 망이나 다른 무선 통신망과도 다른 요구 사항을 만족해야 하는데, 이는 무선 센서 네트워크가 제한된 자원을 가지고 있기 때문이며, 그 중 특히 전력 소모가 가장 중요한 요소이다. 이 논문은 무선 센서 네트워크에서 동작하는 새로운 시각 동기화 방안에 관한 것으로 메시지 통신 부하를 줄여 결과적으로 전력 소모를 줄일 수 있다. 시뮬레이션 시험을 통해서 제안한 시각 동기화 방안이 기존의 방안보다 에너지 소모가 적으며 정확도가 향상되었음을 보인다.

  • We consider discrimination curve and minimum dwell time for Poisson distribution and Poisson-power function distribution. Let the random variable X has Poisson distribution with mean .lambda.. For the hypothesis testing H$\_$0/:.lambda. = t vs. H$\_$1/:.lambda. = d (d$\_$0/ if X.leq.c. Since a critical value c can not be determined to satisfy both types of errors .alpha. and .beta., we considered discrimination curve that gives the maximum d such that it can be discriminated from t for a given .alpha. and .beta.. We also considered an algorithm to compute the minimum dwell time which is needed to discriminate at the given .alpha. and .beta. for the Poisson counts and proved its convergence property. For the Poisson-power function distribution, we reject H$\_$0/ if X.leq..'{c}.. Since a critical value .'{c}. can not be determined to satisfy both .alpha. and .beta., similar to the Poisson case we considered discrimination curve and computation algorithm to find the minimum dwell time for the Poisson-power function distribution. We prosent this algorithm and an example of computation. It is found that the minimum dwell time algorithm fails for the Poisson-power function distribution if the aiming error variance .sigma.$\^$2/$\_$2/ is too large relative to the variance .sigma.$\^$2/$\_$1/ of the Gaussian distribution of intensity. In other words, if .ell. is too small, we can not find the minimum dwell time for a given .alpha. and .beta..

  • This paper presents the results of experimental investigation for the effect of heat conduction on the evaporation cooling of water droplet in the process of heat treatment. The experiments are mainly focused on the surface temperature, the surface roughness and the droplet diameter at aluminum. The range of surface temperature is from $80^{\circ}C$ to $140^{\circ}C$, surface roughness is from $R_a=0.18{\mu}m$ to $R_a=1.36{\mu}m$ and droplet diameter is from 2.4 mm to 3.0 mm. The results show that the total evaporation time is shorter for the larger surface roughness, the time averaged heat flux has maximum value for the larger surface roughness and exist the critical heat flux. The total evaporation time has a big influence on the evaporation region for the smaller droplet size, but the total evaporation time has not influence on the nuclear boiling region.

  • Safety critical systems, real time systems, and event-based systems have a complex set of events and their own interdependency, which makes them difficult to test ma Safety critic Safety critical systems, real time systems, and event-based systems have a complex set of events and their own interdependency, which makes them difficult to test manually. In order to cut down on costs, save time, and increase reliability, the model based testing approach is the best solution. Such an approach does not require applications or codes prior to generating test cases, so it leads to the early detection of faults, which helps in reducing the development time. Several model-based testing approaches have used different UML models but very few works have been reported to show the generation of test cases that use events. Test cases that use events are an apt choice for these types of systems. However, these works have considered events that happen at a user interface level in a system while other events that happen in a system are not considered. Such works have limited applications in testing the GUI of a system. In this paper, a novel model-based testing approach is presented using business events, state events, and control events that have been captured directly from requirement specifications. The proposed approach documents events in event templates and then builds an event-flow model and a fault model for a system. Test coverage criterion and an algorithm are designed using these models to generate event sequence based test scenarios and test cases. Unlike other event based approaches, our approach is able to detect the proposed faults in a system. A prototype tool is developed to automate and evaluate the applicability of the entire process. Results have shown that the proposed approach and supportive tool is able to successfully derive test scenarios and test cases from the requirement specifications of safety critical systems, real time systems, and event based systems.

  • Novel influenza A (H1N1) virus is a common pathogen of febrile respiratory infection recently. Here, we report the case of a 63-year-old male patient who presented with 3 days' ongoing cough and fever. He was diagnosed with novel influenza A (H1N1) pneumonia by real-time reverse-transcriptase-polymerase-chain-reaction (rRT-PCR). During treatment for novel influenza A (H1N1), his symptoms and radiologic findings improved initially, but multiple lung nodules developed subsequently and found on chest x-ray (on the 5th hospital day). Mycobacterium abscessus was isolated repeatedly from sputum and bronchoalveolar lavage fluid. To our knowledge, this is the first reported case of Mycobacterium abscessus lung disease in a patient with H1N1 influenza pneumonia.

  • Purpose : The purpose of this study was to examine the possible direction of critical care nursing research in the future by analyzing the trends of recent Korean studies. Method : Using a database search, we selected 263 articles on critical care nursing that were published in Korean journals between 2008 and 2017. Then, we conducted an integrative review of the contents of the selected articles and analyzed the English abstracts using the relevant packages and functions of the R program. Results : The number of studies concerning critical care nursing has increased over the 10-year period, and the specific topic of each study has diversified according to the time at which it was conducted. In terms of quality, the majority of the research was published in high-level academic journals. The key words regularly studied over the past decade were: knowledge, delirium, education, restraint, stress, and infection. Studies related to vancomycin-resistant enterococci infection, compliance, and standards have decreased, while studies related to death, communication, and safety have increased. Conclusion : Randomized controlled trials and protocol research for evidence-based critical care need to be conducted, as does research on family involvement. The key word analysis of unstructured text used in this study is a relatively new method; it is suggested that this method be applied to various critical care nursing research and develop it methodologically.

  • The aim of current work is to evaluate thermo-electrical characteristics of graphene nanoplatelets Reinforced Composite (GNPRC) coupled with magneto-electro-elastic (MEE) face sheet. In this regard, a cylindrical smart nanocomposite made of GNPRC with an external MEE layer is considered. The bonding between the layers are assumed to be perfect. Because of the layer nature of the structure, the material characteristics of the whole structure is regarded as graded. Both mechanical and thermal boundary conditions are applied to this structure. The main objective of this work is to determine critical temperature and critical voltage as a function of thermal condition, support type, GNP weight fraction, and MEE thickness. The governing equation of the multilayer nanocomposites cylindrical shell is derived. The generalized differential quadrature method (GDQM) is employed to numerically solve the differential equations. This method is integrated with Deep Learning Network (DNN) with ADADELTA optimizer to determine the critical conditions of the current sandwich structure. This the first time that effects of several conditions including surrounding temperature, MEE layer thickness, and pattern of the layers of the GNPRC is investigated on two main parameters critical temperature and critical voltage of the nanostructure. Furthermore, Maxwell equation is derived for modeling of the MEE. The outcome reveals that MEE layer, temperature change, GNP weight function, and GNP distribution patterns GNP weight function have significant influence on the critical temperature and voltage of cylindrical shell made from GNP nanocomposites core with MEE face sheet on outer of the shell.

  • Vector data compression algorithm can meet requirements of different levels and scales by reducing the data amount of vector graphics, so as to reduce the transmission, processing time and storage overhead of data. In view of the fact that large threshold leading to comparatively large error in Douglas-Peucker vector data compression algorithm, which has difficulty in maintaining the uncertainty of shape features and threshold selection, a segmented Douglas-Peucker algorithm based on node importance is proposed. Firstly, the algorithm uses the vertical chord ratio as the main feature to detect and extract the critical points with large contribution to the shape of the curve, so as to ensure its basic shape. Then, combined with the radial distance constraint, it selects the maximum point as the critical point, and introduces the threshold related to the scale to merge and adjust the critical points, so as to realize local feature extraction between two critical points to meet the requirements in accuracy. Finally, through a large number of different vector data sets, the improved algorithm is analyzed and evaluated from qualitative and quantitative aspects. Experimental results indicate that the improved vector data compression algorithm is better than Douglas-Peucker algorithm in shape retention, compression error, results simplification and time efficiency.

  • 본 논문에서는 현재 음성 인식에서 널리 사용되고 있는 멜켑스트럼의 성능 향상 방안을 제안한다. 일반적으로 멜켑스트럼은 인접한 필터간의 중심 간격과 필터의 대역폭이 일정한 critical band 필터들을 사용하여 구한다. 그러나 필터의 특성에 따라 멜켑스트럼의 값들이 달라지게 되고, 이에 따라 인식 성능도 변하게 된다. 본 논문에서는 삼각형과 사각형 모양의 critical band 필터를 사용하여 인접한 필터간의 중심 간격과 필터의 대역폭을 각각 변화시키면서 멜켑스트럼을 구하고 이에 따른 인식 성능을 분석한다. 또한 최적화 알고리즘인 simplex 방법을 사용하여 필터의 중심 주파수와 대역폭을 각각 변화시키면서 최적의 성능을 나타내는 필터를 구하는 방법을 제안한다. 인식 알고리즘으로 DTW (dynamic time warping)를 사용하고, 남자 10명과 여자 10명이 발음한 한국어 숫자음을 인식 대상으로 하여 실험을 수행하였다. 사각형 모양의 필터가 삼각형 모양의 필터 보다 우수한 성능을 보여 주었고 제안된 방법으로 최적화된 필터를 사용하여 구한 멜켑스트럼은 기존의 critical band 필터를 사용하는 것보다 향상된 인식 성능을 나타내었다.

  • 동기화는 병렬 프로그램의 수행이 정확하게 이루어지도록 하기 위해 공유 데이타나 프로그램상의 임계구간(critical section)에 대해 배타적인 수행을 보장하는 것을 목적으로 한다. 배타적인 프로그램의 수행은 병렬 프로그램의 병렬성을 제한하므로 효율적인 동기화는 높은 성능의 병렬 프로그램 수행을 위해 반드시 필요하다. 이런 필요에 의해 응용 프로그램이나 시스템의 특성을 이용하여 동기화의 성능을 높이는 기법들이 고안되었다. 본 논문에서는 모의실험을 통해 캐시에 기반을 둔 NUMA(Non-Uniform Memory Access) 시스템에서 나타나는 기존 동기화의 비효율성을 분석하여 제시하고, 이 비효율성을 제거할 수 있는 Freeze&Melt 동기화 기법과의 성능을 비교한다. 제시된 결과를 통해 Test-and-Test&Set 동기화는 동기화 과정에서 발생하는 방송(broadcast) 작업에 의해 비효율이 발생하고, QOLB(Queue-On-Lock-Bit) 동기화는 공유 데이타나 임계구간을 수행할 프로세서의 순서가 미리 정해져 있다는 점에 의해 비효율이 발생함을 확인할 수 있다. 이와 같은 단점들을 극복하고자 제안된 Freeze&Melt 동기화를 이용하여 임계구간을 수행하기까지 대기하는 시간과 임계구간을 수행하는 시간을 줄이고, 클러스터간의 통신량(traffic)을 감소시킴으로써 성능의 향상을 이룰 수 있다.
